22.7. imghdr --- Determine the type of an image¶
Source code: Lib/imghdr.py
The imghdr module determines the type of image contained in a file or
byte stream.
The imghdr module defines the following function:
-
imghdr.what(filename, h=None)¶ Tests the image data contained in the file named by filename, and returns a string describing the image type. If optional h is provided, the filename is ignored and h is assumed to contain the byte stream to test.
The following image types are recognized, as listed below with the return value
from what():
